CHATEAU LAFLEUR 1982 |

Château Lafleur 1982 PomerolLot 6629: Good levels, labels glue striped and slightly wrinkled, 2 capsules slightly damaged at collar, 1 label scuffed at bottom edge, otherwise very good appearance for age, Lot 6630: Good levels, labels glue striped, damp stained and slightly wrinkled at edges, capsules slightly worn around collar and 2 creasedUnbelievably rich, plummy nose. Drenched damsons. Glorious meaty taste. Very young and 'irony'. Coffee bean finish. Faultless. Then tasted from magnum, classic nose showing the Cabernet Franc that, of course, is not in Petrus. Great finesse and elegance. So meaty and so beautifully silky, with lots of liquorice. Fans out with extraordinary flavour. Firmer than Petrus when I saw them together.
